Sitting on the veranda facing this beautiful vista and its changing sunrises and sunsets is what we do when we visit Le Canon at the Gilchrist home of Patrick and Florence, parents of our close friends Seamus and Mia.

This is a painting of oyster beds in the Bassein de Archechon in the northwestern shore of France near Cap Ferret, an hour north of Bordeaux. It is also where Monet and other impressionists painted because of its beauty.

The house looks out at this vast water basin full of oyster beds. The raw oysters in all the areas of these waters are so fresh and delicious. We eat them at the little restaurant houses owned by the French oyster fishermen and enjoy the beautiful waterfront view and the changing sunsets.

This painting is sold, but an 8" x 10" print is available for $75 plus s/h.

Two Pears and Checkered Tablecloth


Two Pears and Checkered Tablecloth
11" x 14" oil on stretched canvas
I wanted to paint a classic painting still life with folds and a checkered tablecloth. Getting the right light on the squares was challenging. I really enjoy doing still lifes. And pears are so much fun.
If you would like to purchase this oil painting, please email me. This painting ready for framing is priced at $300 plus s/h.
An 8" x 10" print of this painting is available for $35 plus s/h.
